Primary answer
The admission process generally involves qualifying in a national/state-level entrance exam (such as CAT, XAT, MAT, CMAT, or JEMAT), followed by a Group Discussion (GD), Personal Interview (PI), and Written Ability Test (WAT). For IIM Calcutta, only CAT scores are accepted, and shortlisting is based on CAT percentile, academic profile, work experience, and diversity factors. For state-government affiliated colleges (e.g., under MAKAUT or University of Calcutta), candidates often use JEMAT scores. Private colleges may accept multiple exam scores. Final selection is typically based on a composite score combining entrance test (50–70%), GD/PI/WAT (20–30%), and academic/work experience (10–20%).
